My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Climate Change and Energy Efficiency, Senator Wong. I refer the minister to the Prime Minister's statement on the carbon tax yesterday:

More than half the revenue raised will be used for tax cuts and increased payments to households …

I also refer the minister to Senator Pratt's statement in the Senate yesterday where she said:

… all revenue from a carbon price will be used to provide households with fair and generous assistance.

Can the minister confirm whether the Prime Minister has again misled the Australian people or whether Senator Pratt has misled the Senate?
